The fraction of survey participants who prefer Python is 100/412, and the percentage of participants who favor JavaScript is approximately 19.42%.
To express the preference for Python as a fraction of total participants, we divide the number of participants who prefer Python (100) by the total number of participants (412). We get ⅓ which is simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 4, which gives us ⅓, or approximately 24.27%. To find what percentage of participants favor JavaScript, we multiply the fraction ⅓ (representing 80 out of 412 participants) by 100 to get approximately 19.42%.
In a technology survey, 412 participants were asked about their preferences for different programming languages. The results are as follows:
Programming Language Participants
Java 120
Python 100
JavaScript 80
C++ 112
If we want to express the preference for each programming language as a fraction of the total participants, how would you represent the fraction of participants who prefer Python? Additionally, can you provide the percentage of participants who favor JavaScript?
Additional Information:
The total number of participants in the survey is 412.
Calculate the fraction of participants preferring each programming language by dividing the number of participants for that language by the total number of participants.
To find the percentage, multiply the fraction by 100.
